Compute@Edge log streaming: Google Cloud Pub/Sub

Fastly's Real-Time Log Streaming feature for Compute@Edge services can send log files to Cloud Pub/Sub, Google's global messaging and event data ingestion product.

Prerequisites

Before adding Cloud Pub/Sub as a logging endpoint for Fastly Compute@Edge services, you will need to register for a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account and then:

• Create a service account on Google's website.
• Navigate to the Pub/Sub section of the Google Cloud console. Follow the prompts to enable the API.
• Create a Pub/Sub topic.
• Obtain the private key from the JSON file associated with the service account configured for your Pub/Sub topic.

Adding Cloud Pub/Sub as a logging endpoint

Follow these instructions to add Cloud Pub/Sub as a logging endpoint:

1. Review the information in our Setting Up Remote Log Streaming guide.
